Small boat, big views — whales, otters, and dolphins on Monterey Bay.
A small-boat wildlife cruise on Monterey Bay, inside the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, with a knowledgeable local captain searching out whales, dolphins, and sea otters — Voyzo books this as a private charter for your group only. Adapted from a small-group experience — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private tour for your group only. This wildlife cruise departs from Santa Cruz Harbor and spends its time on Monterey Bay and inside the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, one of the country's largest marine protected areas. Your captain knows the best spots for whale-watching but can't guarantee a sighting — reviewers regularly report humpback whales, dolphins, sea otters, and sea lions on this route. The boat has comfortable seats with backrests, though it isn't recommended for travelers who are pregnant or have back or neck problems.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
